I grew up with totally dysfunctional parents who got their dysfunction from their parents. Then I married a totally dysfunctional husband. I learned coping skills that got me through as a child but those skills were dysfunctional as an adult & my daughter learned dysfunctional ways from the environment she grew up in. Yes, it is generational. However.....
when I finally left my bad marriage & I no longer had any live older generations in my life, I chose to use therapy to learn coping skills that were no longer dysfunctional rather than embrasing the dysfunction. That choice made healed my relationship with my daughter.......
Just something to think about
